Imagine what a player he could be if he could get even half of the other 99% of his game to the standard of those two goals .

3 goals in 3 games is his best run of scoring for Tottenham since December 2023...
...or is this thread only getting bumped for the scapegoating pile-on now?

In good form right now. Him and Muani should start up front also next game.
Think he looked much better in a front 2. He's shit at leading the line on his own - definitely helped having another big unit alongside him to create chaos and give him something to play off.
2 of his couple best games this season were against PSG.
2 factors that are common for those games:
-We played with 2 guys at front (Richy + Muani or Kudus)
- PSG centre backs are not that physical monsters like the ones that play in PL - so he was able to hold the ball and win some headers.
Hopefully we can find him a club that plays with 2 strikers in less physical league - would be good for both him and us.

I make that 11 EPL starts and 7 EPL goals.
For sure, that's why I nearly lost my head when he was, for no apparent reason, suddenly consistently showing a pretty decent ability to hold the ball up and offload to another attacker during the CL game. If only that was the norm!

why is he hiding behind the CH's, does he think they will miss the ball ? That was alright for me playing in pub football as you could guess wil he miss this cross or do i need to be in front- but this is EPL
Where is any simple movement from him ? why arn't the coaches working on him ? he is all we have at the moment so the coaches should be doing their job

People that think he is the problem in this team have an agenda.
He has 2 goals in his last 10 starts of last season dating back to January. 6 in 14 starts this season.
So 8 in his last 24 starts.
But your math was close.
He certainly is not a solution. And SOME of the players on the team have to be or we will go nowhere.
A reminder that this is the player that Levy bought to replace Kane. That is not Richarlison's fault, but it is the reality.
Nonsense. He is not the only problem but he is most certainly part of the problem. Having shit footballers gets you a shit team…as we’re currently witnessing.
The people that think there’s any agenda are invariably the same people that thought there was an agenda against Winks, Sissoko, Aurier, Dier and any number of the other shit footballers we’ve given a comfortable home to over the years.
There are always going to be players like this on a squad of our level. All of those players were serviceable in limited roles (maybe not Winks) but had much, much better teammates to carry the squad.
We have players at that same level that are expected to be our core group of players and absolutely no one to carry them even a little. It's just a complete mess.
